May 2015

Our time with Sainsbury’s was coming to an end and we all wanted to do something extra special to celebrate what we had been doing together through out the year.

Mechelle our Founder of The Hummingbird Centre commented our events team and the staff at Sainsbury’s have worked so well together during the year it will seem strange lets keep our fingers crossed if we are short listed again for 2015/16 and that the public will be behinde us.

We all decided the grand finale should be to put on a fashion show hoping the staff of Sainsbury’s, the team of The Hummingbird Centre and perhaps some of our guests would take part. To our amazement everyone became excited and wanted to take part.

Sunday 10th May the magic started – what would normally be the Café area of Sainsbury’s became the threatre for the evening, Oxford Office Furniture created our catwalk, Jacqueline Faye was our MC and sang a few of her well known songs during the interval.

The night started with the men strutting their stuff and wowing the crowds with their charm – I’m sure many walked away a few admirers that night. Our beatiful ladies took to the catwalk bringing glamour and sparkle.

We would like to thank Debbie Mac and Hannah Burns from The Hummingbird Centre for taking part in the makeover behinde the scences along with the students from Bicester Community College Hair and Make Up all these ladies worked their magice.

A group of guests took part in the event some of whom Mechelle commented a year ago you would never have thought they would consider taking part neverlone getting on the stage and actually doing it and wowing the crowds – one guest said they would do it again if they ever had the opportunity. The Hummingbird Centre is all about working with people to find their confidence, feel safe and have ago knowing they have the safety of the team around them, the results speak for themselves.
